Storm Update

A nor'easter will hit the area with rain, snow and wind on Wednesday. It will start out as rain in the morning and gradually change to snow in the afternoon. And some sleet is possible as well during the transition. The snow will fall heavily in the evening before tapering off overnight. It seems that a few inches of snow is possible in Boston.
